How about this one? 1981 model Mini clubman 1275cc. I used to fit a 7 piece drum kit in there to take to band practice. Kick drum on the passenger seat, toms in the back (no bottom vellums so I could stack them into 2 stacks), hardware and sticks all packed up and stashed on the floor, snare and throne in the (tiny) boot.

Could fit my current rig in there no problem (fEARful 15/6/1, power amp, pre and tuner pedals, Ibby SR506).

Great little car, puts a smile on my face every time I drive it

2nd best car EVAR

[tjnkoo]

I wish I had pictures, but I've fit two upright basses, two electrics, a pedal set, an ampeg PF500/115cab, a cd collection, myself, my girlfriend, and my subwoofer in my 76' VW bus. Best little van in the world.

I'll have to get a picture of my Berg NV610 or my Fearful Dually in my Smart car.

Moved a whole 4 piece band once (exc. PA inc. Bandmembers) in a Hyunday i10 and a Fiat panda xD I was so glad that my guitarist put the amps in his hyundai, the drums are nice and lightweight compared to that haha. No pics though
I will upload a pic of how to fit multiple guitars, basses and 3 people in an hyundai (damnit forgot the car type xD)

I'll believe it when I see it.

in the 70's, I carried my stuff in an AMC Gremlin...Two EV TL806 and two EV TL606 cabinets, SVT head, Tapco mixer, power amp, mic stand, two basses (in hard shell cases) and a box of cords. And I still had room for a 12 pack of beer.

[powmetalbassist]

My old band used to pack 1/2 a drum kit, 2 basses, 2 guitars (all 4 basses/guitars fully cased), a Peavey 5150 combo and a 210 eden cab/peavey head into a 2003 Sunfire. That took some serious practice, but after 3 years we had it down to a science.

I sing harmony on most everything that has harmony and quite enjoy it.

Also, I'm the only one who has a full PA, although my drummer has a pair of giant triamped horn bin stacks....they are for sale. The singer carries one acoustic guitar.

I also still rather enjoy the whole process and setting up/running everything. It's almost as if all I needed was a bass rig, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.. If all I carried was a bass, DI and IEM's, I would feel naked and would probably be stepping up to a non-existant mic out of habit and maybe even getting bored just playing bass.


Good thread to bump. Hope more folks add pics.

In my drummer's old, beat-up tiny Toyota, we fit a 4x10 combo, a bass in a bag, a full drum kit, and 3 people. I think there was one occasion we fit my guitarists' 2x12 combo in there as well. Like some others mentioned, it comes down to playing a game of life-sized Tetris. Next time we do it, I'll go for photos.

LMFAOROF!!! I couldn't comprehend anything after AMC Gremlin!

Actually, my parents had an AMC Javlin! The air conditioning had a, "DESERT ONLY" setting on it. Those cars were so quirky!

Z3? The trunk is not totally useless. Check post number 18:

I haven't packed a whole rig in it yet, but here is a pic of a vintage Fender 215 in the back, with plenty of room for an amp and bass or two. And another pic of it with my t-bird and a sound board.

Back in 1983 Me and my friend Mike fit:
1.) My Sunn Coliseum head.
2.) My Sunn 2x15 Cab
3.) 4003 Ric bass in hard case
4.) G&L Bass in hard case
5.) His Les Paul in hard case
6.) His BC Rich guitar in hard case
7.) His Fender Twin Reverb amp
8.) 2 suitcases and a few various other bags
9.) Me and my friend Mike were in the front bucket seats. He was 6'1" and I was 5'11"

All in a Toyota Corolla Hatchback driving home from Kokomo Indiana to Barnsville PA.
The band we had been on tour with broke up, and we had to get home somehow. Needless to say we had both seats all the way up with our knees up in our chests for the 15 hour drive.

Sorry but I used to have a pic, but can't seem to find it after 30 years.

I totally forgot about this thread! I'm loading out to a gig tomorrow. I'll have to snap a photo once I got it all stuffed in there.

[Plays_For_Dog]

OK Gents, as promised; I know it's not a little car, but the secure storage area is smaller than most. Playing an outdoor event this evening so I need to stuff it all up front for safe keeping before and after our set.

Load consist of:

Back seat-
-Genz Benz Uber 1x15
-Genz Benz Uber 2x10
-Head in pelican case
-(x2) basses in hard shell cases
-PT-2 in hard case
-Small road case full of extra doo-dads and what-nots
-Bass stand

Front seat-
-Verellen MSpre
-My fat ass






This is from a gig two days ago so you get an idea of the rig size:



Luckily, our drummer has a van to haul his drums, Guitarist rig and the PA. I just have to get me and my gear there and home.
